Library? Heck, that looks like a storage room with books stacked and stuffed on storage shelves.

A library would have all the books sorted out according to genre and then alphabetically arranged, and catalogued. Think of the late Sen. Miriam D. Santiago's library (RIP) once featured on the TV show Powerhouse.

Sharon is papansin, and she fancies herself to be some bookworm or an overlooked nerd with depth. But really she is as shallow as a puddle of water.

She should buy a kindle or a tablet with a huge memory (ipad with huge icloud) to store her newer books. It's so hard to maintain books because paper gets eaten up by termites. Humidity gets to them too.

The traditional kindle does not strain the eyes! Get a Paperwhite.when you are travelling you can carry as much books as you want. Actual books are heavy and take up so much space. Big Plus: you can read all the trashy novels you want bec no one will know and they cannot judge you😊

Hi 2:26. No glare yung black and white kindle so no eye strain. I vote for Paperwhite because it has it's own backlight so you do not have to carry a separate light. Perfect sa airplane or if tulog na asawa mo. Storbo yung lamp shade e

i like both mediums. Basta libro na mababasa, it doesn't matter. 😀 I carry my Kindle when I travel and then I buy paper books na lang in the airport or in a bookstore nearby. I agree, better ang paperwhite 😀

I also hava a lot of books. Sabi ng anak ko if I love them I should share them with the others. Ipamigay to to those who love to read but cannot afford. Sa US they have what is called Little Free Library. These are small community libraries to give a book, share a book, return a book. Someone builds a roof covered book shelf on a street in a neighborhood and anyone can exchange their books. It not only promotes literacy but a good spot to meet people in the hood. Where I live there are a lot of used book shops where one can turn in books for credit for other books. Pwede rin bumili kung wala kang credit. I really think books should be shared and not stored.

If you zoom in to the titles, those are mostly cookbooks! Stop the pretense of being scholarly and educated for always declaring that you are a voracious reader and owning hundreds of thousand books. Where are your books on literature, history, fine arts, philosophy, etc??
